Video game music dj and producer The Greatest Bits released the
first album of his personal NES music top 50 this week. The album
contains an original blend of 8-bit chiptune sounds and real drums,
bass and other acoustic instruments.

The new versions by The Greatest Bits feel like 1991 but they
sound like 2014.

The Greatest Bits: Video Game Music DJ

The Greatest Bits (1978) is a Dutch DJ/Producer and musican who
played in various bands for half of his life. The other half was
mostly spent playing video games. The Greatest Bits already
released critically acclaimed music tributes to Mega Man 2, Donkey
Kong Country, Tetris, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon Red and
Blue and Street Fighter 2.

The Greatest Bits loves the chipsounds of the old game consoles
and remixes them with modern beats and instruments. The result is a
chiptune crossover style that combines the best of both worlds.
Retrogame classics for the sound systems and portable music players
of today.

The 8-Bit NES Top 50 Volume 1 has been digitally released on
iTunes,
Amazon MP3 and most other
digital music stores. The album is also online on streaming
services like
Spotify.

Press quotes on The Greatest Bits' previous
albums:

"A wonderful blend of 8 bit beeps and drones with a whole new
modern twist. I am happy to give this a rating of 97%" (
theretrogamesnews.com on Mega
Man 2 )

"The Greatest Bits manages to keep everything sounding
simultaneously cheap and blippy yet full and modern. Most
importantly, this sounds fun, and fun is what video games are
supposed to be about." (
